Manitoba offers snow tire loans

WINNIPEG, ManitobaThe provincial government of Manitoba has launched a low-interest financing program for qualifying residents to buy winter tires, providing up to $2,000 toward a purchase at prime plus 2 percent.

Those who take advantage of the program will have up to 48 months to repay the loan, according to Manitoba Public Insurance, which is administering the program.

Program eligibility comprises: the individual must be a Manitoba Public Insurance customer and qualifying winter tires must be fitted to a car or light truck registered to the individual's name.

The deal is valid with participating retailers, which will confirm the individual's eligibility and complete the loan authorization.
